they sweep and mop they
stock shelves they
ring you up at the register they
deal with all american
attitude. we call it the graveyard
shift for good reason last
week they left one to bleed
out for some
change. god rest your very

tuned out
twenty one suns
one and twenty years
into the so-called twenty first century
none of the calculationsÂ
had any true significance when
you tuned the holy roman
empire out
#katyamills
journey into the light
there there
dry your eyes
the darkness drains from the sky
see how you were so certain?
so terrified
the thoughts how they
lied

mach.ines
they would not let machines
take from life
the mystery
the work

cassis
they found her
still alive they loved her
they promised
hi def pixels for eyes
cold brew coffee for drive
she prayed for a vertically
integrated chassis they
dubbed her
cassis

hi.story
they never stopped
scrubbing one could see
their reflection in the silver
nothing else. imagine centuries
passing that off 4
reality

off note
the dissonance caused by all
the off notes touched a hundred
thousand hearts who turned
the radio up and swore
someone finally got themÂ
#katyamills
run over
weightless the body
in flight. carbon monoxideÂ
swell of heat
spun up so light the strange
sound of brakes so late
they cheat
staring down they
fall in the winter off the
wall of metal
sheets

book review
My Year of Rest and Relaxation
by Ottessa Moshfegh
Katya Mills‘s reviewFeb 12, 2021  ·  edit
liked it
Our antiprotagonist gets progressively mired in her chosen selfish sedentary life for a year. Like a life experiment with a careless interest in self-transformation, in NYC, 1999. She lies to her psychiatrist about her use of prescriptions for no apparent reason, as the psychiatrist has no moral or ethical compass to begin with, just a professional hiding behind a lot of jargon and bullshit. Ever met anyone like that? The character closest to real is her best friend Reva yet she is the most annoying and pathetic of them all. Materialistic. Superficial. Zero self-worth. Dependent on guys who use her. They both are. Maybe this is why they are friends. I liked the book, laughed a lot. Some very funny one liners. But not as much as Eileen. Maybe the main character was too sad and jaded. A product of her environment. Maybe it came too close to how life can feel in 21st century America when it’s at its worst. When you give up and are rich enough not to have any responsibilities, and you care but not really.
visions
i saw visions
a porsche turning circles in the snow
a man pissing on a brick wall barrows
wheeled over hay early
dawn i got chills
a headache
the light hurt my eyes i saw
visions long the melody sorted out
the birds
